Hyper: "Hyper" wants access to control "Google Chrome"

[jsphkm]

• [x] I am on the latest Hyper.app version
• [x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• OS 10.14.2:
• Hyper 2.1.2:
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js:
• Relevant information from devtools _(CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere)_:
• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app:

Issue

This message came up when I did npm start

"start": "concurrently \"react-scripts start\" \"node server.js\"",

I am aware that this may not be an unusual activity. I just want a bit of clarification about the permission access.

@jsphkm Why did you close this? What did you discover?

I had some similar pop ups like these for other programs when macOS Mojave was released. I eventually dismissed it since the security was built into the os and was triggering these alerts for other apps that wanted access to stuff like files, e.g. vscode. However, I can reopen and continue this thread. Did you come across this problem too?

Yes, I suspect it has something to do with React wanting access to dev tools—but I’d like to find out because even if it’s simply that, this permission is not a granular one and therefore it exposes a large attack vector for misbehaving/compromised/malicious code.

Had this popup when one of my instances was firing up a browser (strapi in this case).
